    Examples of computer connector sockets on various laptops Ports on the back of the Apple Mac Mini (2005) A computer port is a hardware piece on a computer where an electrical connector can be plugged to link the device to external devices, such as another computer, a peripheral device or network equipment. [1] This is a non-standard term.

    A GPIO port is a group of GPIO pins (often 8 pins, but it may be less) arranged in a group and controlled as a group. GPIO abilities may include: [2] GPIO pins can be configured to be input or output; GPIO pins can be enabled/disabled; Input values are readable (usually high or low) Output values are writable/readable

    The term can also be used as part of an action; to "perform I/O" is to perform an input or output operation. I/O devices are the pieces of hardware used by a human (or other system) to communicate with a computer. For instance, a keyboard or computer mouse is an input device for a computer, while monitors and printers are output devices.

    Color-coded PS/2 connection ports (purple for keyboards and green for mice) on the rear of a personal computer An S-video connector: because this is a female connector, Pin 1 is at lower right. Mini-DIN connectors are 9.5 millimetres (3 ⁄ 8 in) in diameter and come in seven patterns, with the number of pins from three to nine. Each pattern is ...

  7. Memory-mapped I/O and port-mapped I/O - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory-mapped_I/O_and_port...

    Memory-mapped I/O is preferred in IA-32 and x86-64 based architectures because the instructions that perform port-based I/O are limited to one register: EAX, AX, and AL are the only registers that data can be moved into or out of, and either a byte-sized immediate value in the instruction or a value in register DX determines which port is the source or destination port of the transfer.

    PORTx: Output port register. Sets the output value on pins configured as outputs. Enables or disables the pull-up resistor on pins configured as inputs. PINx: Input register, used to read an input signal. On some devices, this register can be used for pin toggling: writing a logic one to a PINx bit toggles the corresponding bit in PORTx ...

    A register that holds the result of previous operation in ALU. It can be also used as an input register to the adder. address The unique integer number that identifies a memory location or an input/output port in an address space. address space A mapping of logical addresses into physical memory or other memory-mapped devices.
